aphperspective 383 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi all again. Do people get to concerned over ctr and zooms? The figures may actually be effected (mainly zooms) i feel due to other alamy members looking for help/inspiration from other members images. May apply to the more successfull members as they would be the ones a newby might check first for ideas. Just a thought. Andy. Link to post Share on other sites
aphperspective 383 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Just realised, sorry about the capitals in the title Link to post Share on other sites
spacecadet 3,781 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 No, they're not. Measures only derive from a subset of buyers and anyway, contributors' activity is easy enough to exclude. It certainly doesn' show if I zoom one of my own images. btw the word is "Affected". 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for that and in future i shall double check my spelling. Andy Link to post Share on other sites

Its fine i took no offence and as always glad of any advice, i was just wondering that perhaps people get to caught up in the whole zooms/ctr thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Michael_Jacobs 82 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I kept stats of my views and zooms for the past 2+ years and don’t see a link between sales and views/zooms... I do see a link between number of images available and sales though... Link to post Share on other sites
losdemas 2,815 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 For some reason, which I've never been able to fathom, I have always seemed to have a higher number of images sold which have been previously zoomed, when compared to others here. That said, I don't let zooms and CTR rule my life. They are only a tiny part of a much bigger picture. Captioning, tagging and - above all - sales, are far more important in determining rank (personal opinion) and of course, cash in the bank. Link to post Share on other sites
